    Chandrayaan-2 is India's second lunar exploration mission, consisting of an orbiter, lander, and rover developed by ISRO. The mission aims to map the location and abundance of lunar water. The lander and rover are planned to land near the lunar south pole on September 7, 2019, where the rover will perform chemical analysis for 14 days. The orbiter will orbit the Moon for one year in a polar orbit to support the lander and rover mission.

    Chandrayaan-2 (Sanskrit: च यान-२; Sanskrit: [t͡ɕən̪d̪ɾəjaːna


    Chandrayaan-2
    d̪ʋi]; lit: Moon-craft[14][15] pronunciation ) is India's
    second lunar explorationmission after Chandrayaan-
    1.[16] Developed by the Indian Space Research
    Organisation (ISRO),[17][18] the mission was launched from
    the second launch pad at Satish Dhawan Space Centre on 22
    July 2019 at 2.43 PM IST (09:13 UTC) to the Moon by
    a Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mark III (GSLV
    Mk III). [19][8][9]The planned orbit has a perigee of 170 km
    and an apogee of 45475 km. It consists of a lunar orbiter,
    a lander, and a lunar rover named Pragyan, all developed in
    India.[20] The main scientific objective is to map the location
    and abundance of lunar water.

    The lander and the rover will land near the lunar south pole
    region in a high plain between two craters, Manzinus
    C and Simpelius N, at a latitude of about 70° south on 7
    September, 2019. The wheeled Pragyanrover will move on
    the lunar surface and will perform on-site chemical analysis
    for a period of 14 days (one lunar day). It can relay data to
    Earth through the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter and lander, which Chandrayaan-2 composite
    were launched together on the same rocket. The orbiter will
    Mission type Lunar orbiter, lander, rover
    perform its mission for one year in a circularized lunar polar
